Ok, rant time.
Looking back on my story as I was editing it, I couldn't be more embarrased. There were so many spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors. Combine that with the bunched up paragraphs, and I'm surprised anyone was willing to read this story at all!
I would like to thank each and every one of you for sticking with my story, despite the horrible start it had. All of the revised chapters should be up by the time this chapter goes up, so if you want to go back and read an actually comprehensible story, then your more than welcome to do so.
I feel like I came out of this a better writer overall, and the rest of the story, plus the sequel will be much, MUCH better quality. Again, I can't thank all of you enough for putting up with the story for this long, and giving me time to fix it. I'm going to do better from now on, for your guys' sake.
And now, an actually well written chapter! Crazy, right?
"Get back here, human scum!" Undyne yelled, flinging countless spears at the two heroes.
"Ugh, why does this bridge have so many unnecessary twists and turns?" Badd complained, running as fast as he could, Seito slightly ahaid of him.
"No idea, let's just keep running!"
The idol jumped a large gap, but as soon as he landed, one of Undyne's spears shot through his arm, cleaving it off.
"Seito!"
"Heh, finally got ya, punk." The militant monster gloated.
However, to both of their surprise, Seito simply grabbed his severed arm in midair, and reattached it with ease.
"Damn it... Now my shirt is ruined."
Undyne looked on in shock.
What the hell!? No human should be able to do that... whatever, I'll just ask Alphys about it once I've killed them.
Shaking herself out of her stupor, she summoned another volley of spears and took aim.
"How the hell did you do that?"
"I have an... irregular biology. If a wound is a clean cut, I can reattach the lost body part."
"Huh, that's pretty cool." Badd said as he deflected a spear aimed for his throat with his bat.
They kept running across the absurdly long bridge, until they finally came to the other end.
"Quick, let's hide in the grass." Badd whispered as he ducked into the greenery.
Zenko and Sid caught up shortly after.
They heard Undyne's metal boots stomping up to them. As soon as she approached, she saw rustling in the grass.
Gotcha punks. She smirked internally, before reaching down and pulling up her prey.
"Yo..." Sid said with a starstruck smile, being held up by the scruff of his neck by Undyne.
"What!? Ugh, go home kid, don't you know there's humans around?" She said with annoyance, dropping Sid and pointing towards Snowdin.
He looked up at her for a moment, before sighing and running off the other way.
"Damn it, I lost em. Whatever, they couldn't have gotten far."
Sid peeked out from around the corner he had hidden behind.
"Yo, she's gone, you guys can come out now."
Badd poked his head out, scanning for any sign of the armor clad monster, before standing up and walking out of the grass with the others.
"Man, that was close. I have a feeling that this won't be the last time we see her though."
"Yo, you guys gotta tell me what's going on now. Why was Undyne trying to kill you?"
Sid was visibly confused, which was fair. He had just witnessed his hero try to murder a couple of seemingly innocent civilians.
"Look kid, we'll tell you, but you gotta promise you won't tell anyone else."
"Are you sure that's a good idea Badd? How can we be sure he won't tell anyone?" Seito said, looking at Sid. He wasn't exactly glaring, but he was eyeing him with caution.
"Hey, look man, if you wanna try to BS your way out of what the kid just saw be my guest."
"Fine, tell him, but if he goes back to town and tells everyone, that's on you."
"Look Sid, we're humans." Badd said bluntly, Making the monster kid gasp and start sweating nervously.
"Yo, y-you're humans? O-oh man..."
Zenko came over and sat next to him.
"Yeah, but we're not bad! We just fell down here on accident and are trying to find a way out."
"Yeah, and that's not all. We found out why you guys are trapped down here, and to say the least, we're disgusted with our ancestor's actions. I don't know how we'll do it, but we're gonna try our hardest to get you guys to the surface." Badd finished, Seito nodding silently.
Sid seemed to be in conflict with himself over whether to trust them or not, but eventually he nodded his head and looked back up.
"Yeah, ok. I believe you guys! Besides, you've been nice to me so far, so what does it matter if you're humans? We can't go blaming everyone for the mistakes of the past!"
"Wow, that's pretty mature of ya, kid. Glad to know you're giving us a chance."
"Yeah, but what are you guys gonna do about Undyne? She knows for sure that you're in the area now, so she'll definitely be after you."
"Don't worry. We're tough. We'll be able to handle whatever she throws our way. It may be hard to convince her, but if she's the hero you say she is, then she'll come around."
"Yeah, you're right! once she sees that you aren't gonna hurt anyone, she'll stop trying to kill you!"
Seito looked at his wristwatch, before coughing to get the other's attention.
"Sorry to cut the conversation short, but we really should get going."
After passing by a piece of crystalized cheese, (Yes, you heard me right) the group found Sans standing next to a telescope.
"Hey Sans, what are you doing here?"
"well, i've decided to get into the telescope business. now, normally, this premium, high tech telescope would cost you 50000 G to use, but since I know you, i'll let you use it for free."
"Well, thanks Sans."
Badd went up to the telescope and looked into it. Seito was about to warn him that it was a prank, but stopped himself.
This may actually be pretty funny.
"Hey, what the heck? All I see is red!"
Badd looked up from the telescope, revealing that he had a splotch of red paint over his eye, making everyone laugh.
"What? What's going on? Why are you laughing?"
"god, I didn't actually think you'd fall for it! that's rich!"
Sans held up a mirror for Badd to see.
"...Fuck you Sans."
After passing through a rather beautiful room filled with glowing water, The group of travelers entered a long area with a natural pathway through a body of water.
Suddenly, a large, tan tentacle raised above the water, startling them.
A Head to match the appendage soon raised above it.
"Hey there! I'm Onionsan!"
Badd looked up at the large monster awkwardly.
"Uh, hi?"
"I haven't seen you guys around before! You visiting Waterfall?"
"Well, we're headed to the capital, and we need to head though here to do so."
"Oh, well, good luck getting there! I actually want to go to the capital too, like all my friends did once the water started to get shallow, but they don't have enough aquariums to house me."
The group started to feel bad for the aquatic monster. Sid had heard the story from Onionsan before, but he always felt bad.
"That's ok though, Undyne's gonna fix everything, ya hear? She and the king are working to break the barrier! Then I can go live in the ocean!"
Seito looked thoughtful.
Perhaps Undyne targeting us has something to do with that.
"Anyway, there's the end of the room, have a good time in Waterfall!"
And with that, Onionsan went back underwater. Zenko waved after the monster.
"Bye Onionsan! Nice meeting you!"
As they ventured out of Onionsan's chamber, they noticed a monster hiding in the corner.
"Hey there, what's the matter?"
"Oh, um, hello. Could you uh, back up a bit? I don't really like people this close."
Despite being almost five feet away, they nodded and backed up a bit.
"Thank you. My name's Shyren. I want to be a singer, but I suffer from horrible stage fright."
Seito smiled. He could certainty help out with that.
"Well, I happen to be a singer myself. Would it help you if I sang with you?"
"O-oh dear. No, I couldn't ask you to do that, surely you have a better use of your time."
"Nonsense. I can take a little time out of my day to help an aspiring musician."
"Well... alright, here's the song I have in mind..."
As Seito and Shyren sung their duet, they attracted the attention of several monsters. Normally, Shyren would be scared to death, but she was too wrapped up in her singing to notice.
As they finished, the small crowd of monsters applauded.
"Wow, who are they? They're almost as good as Mettaton!"
"I think I know one of them. They hang out around this area a lot, but I've never heard them sing!"
Shyren looked at the crowd, startled.
"Wh-what? Where'd all of them come from?"
"They approached us as we were singing. You have a wonderful voice, so why are you so afraid of an audience? They clearly liked it!"
"They, they did? Wow, they did! Thank you so much! I feel a lot better now."
"Happy to help!"
Badd smirked as Seito walked back over to them.
"You can't even go through here without drawing an audience, can you?"
"Oh, shut up. It's not my fault I naturally attract attention."
The group came across a room with a decayed looking statue.
"Ugh, it's so wet here."
"Yeah, that's Waterfall for ya."
Zenko spoke up.
"Hey Badd, I think I saw something suspicious back a bit. We should go check it out to see if you know what is hidden anywhere nearby."
"Oh, yeah. good idea."
"Uh, what are you dudes talking about?"
"Um, we'll explain once things make sense."
"Alright, but you better tell me."
The pathway they encountered led to a dead end, with only a piano there.
"Who would leave a perfectly good piano in a place like this?"
"I think I know. Look at the sign."
There was a sign above the Piano that read a message.
"Play the first seven notes that the umbrella reveals. What?"
"Wait, Badd, there was a handle for an umbrella on the statue back in the other room."
"Oh my god, back and forth we go."
Once the umbrella was placed on the statue, it began to play a tune that Chara recognized. She started to tear up. It was the song that her mother always sung to her and her brother all those years ago.
Badd whispered to Chara, so Sid wouldn't hear.
"Hey, you alright?"
"No, it's nothing."
"Well, if you say so."
As soon as they made it back to the piano, Zenko sat down and played the first seven notes of the tune, just as instructed.
All of a sudden, the wall crumbled away, revealing a room hidden behind it.
"Whoa. Dudes, how'd you know to do that?"
Zenko giggled.
"I'm pretty good with the piano, and the puzzle was pretty simple. All you have to do is play the first seven notes of the music box."
Upon entering the hidden room, The humans gasped.
Sitting on an ancient looking pedestal was a glowing red crystal ball.
"That HAS to be it."
Badd went over and the orb up. Being careful not to drop it, he placed it in his backpack (Not mentioned until this point) and turned back to the others.
"Well, that's one loose end tied up. Let's get going, there's nothing left to do here."
The others nodded, following after him.
Sorry if the ending of the chapter seemed a little lackluster. I just finished editing all of the chapters in pretty much a day, so I'm pretty drained.
